Prox status flipped to down

Prox (Aiproxy), a closed AI API relay based on New-API that admits users only via OAuth from the external forum dc.hhhl.cc, was marked down in its latest status probe 52 minutes ago with 6001ms latency, after showing up with 542-714ms latency on checks over the prior five days. Uprouter rates Prox as high risk, citing an anonymous operator, no public free quota, disabled password signup and check-in, Stripe billing, and zero reputation across V2EX, Linux.do, NodeSeek, Reddit, Zhihu, and GitHub. Uprouter advises against using the relay and, if tried, keeping amounts tiny and data non-sensitive with an official fallback.

ai.prox.us.ci

Prox (Aiproxy) is a closed AI API relay based on New-API, restricted to users with OAuth access from the external forum dc.hhhl.cc. It offers Stripe integration for paid top-ups and primarily serves a private community with aggregated access to frontier models.

// pros

  • Has /v1/* endpoints (OpenAI-compatible one-api family), technically programmatically callable

// cons

  • Password signup and check-in disabled, Stripe billing integrated, no public free quota
  • Admission only via external forum dc.hhhl.cc OAuth; opaque gate, resembling a closed carpool
  • HTTP 451/403 limits probing; frequent 'upgrade' notices within days of launch, stability unsettled
  • Fully anonymous operator; no discussion on V2EX/Linux.do/NodeSeek/Reddit/Zhihu/GitHub or its OAuth domain

A closed paid/OAuth-gated anonymous new relay with no public free quota and unsettled stability — not recommended; if trying, keep amounts tiny and data non-sensitive, and keep an official fallback.

community_reputation #

Zero reputation anywhere; an anonymous new site. Closed public signup, Stripe billing, and OAuth admission via a niche forum make it look like a closed paid/carpool relay; neither stability nor integrity can be verified.

imported analysis — independent third party, not Uprouter editorial · verify before relying on it

No free tier

This provider does not offer a free tier as of our last verification (13d ago). The cheapest way to try it is pay-as-you-go. If the provider adds a free tier, submit a correction and we’ll re-verify.

Plan Type Monthly Input /1M Output /1M Note
Free tier (source-reported) free Unknown/almost none — password signup disabled (password_register_enabled=false), check-in disabled (checkin_enabled=false), admission only via dc.hhhl.cc OAuth with Stripe (unit_price=8); no evidence of public free quota.

official pricing page

Pricing normalized from public sources — always verify with the provider.

$ Does Prox have a free tier? #

No. Prox does not offer a meaningful free tier — entry requires payment (pay-as-you-go or a plan). We mark this explicitly rather than showing a misleading zero.

$ How much does Prox cost per 1M tokens? #

Prox does not publish simple per-1M-token pricing (it may bill per request, per output, or via a subscription plan). Check their official pricing page for exact figures.

$ Is Prox safe to use? #

Uprouter rates Prox as high risk. Rated high risk. Limited or no official documentation, an opaque or anonymous operator, unstable availability, or pricing and terms that could not be independently confirmed. Relays of this kind may resell shared upstream credits or forward prompts through intermediate hops, so data-handling guarantees are weak. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.

$ Can I use Prox through Uprouter Connect? #

Yes — Prox is Connect-compatible. Add your Prox API key in Uprouter Connect (encrypted at rest) and route requests to it through one OpenAI- and Claude-compatible API, optionally behind failover aliases. Uprouter meters the traffic in compute at the provider's listed rate.

Uprouter runs its own probes; best-effort, not a guarantee. Probe results depend on our network location and cadence — for production, always use the provider’s own status page.

risk_&_confidence

Rated high risk. Limited or no official documentation, an opaque or anonymous operator, unstable availability, or pricing and terms that could not be independently confirmed. Relays of this kind may resell shared upstream credits or forward prompts through intermediate hops, so data-handling guarantees are weak.

Confidence reflects how much verifiable evidence (official docs, probe history, community reports) backs this entry. Risk is our editorial assessment of operator reliability and terms — not financial advice.
